Whoosh!
The [Shipboard Analyzer] spewed out steam.
"Set Shooting Zhu Yuan! Azimuth angle 27-00, firing angle 06-80! Eight rapid shots! Fire! "
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The terrifying cannon fire on the deck let out a sharp howl. The surging cannon flames covered the clouds, and the violent whirlwind from the cannon muzzle forced the waves back.
The dukedom and the federation in the overseas battlefield had yet to send their battleships, which were the absolute main force, into the main battlefield.
Needless to say, the [Legendary Battleship], which was regarded as the national weapon by the various countries thirty years ago, was even more so.
In fact, as human technology improved, technological weapons such as the [Elemental Turbulence Bomb] that countered supernatural powers appeared. This had caused the [Legendary Battleship], which was the crystallization of supernatural powers, to gradually lose its dominance over the sea.
If one excluded the unreasonable [Legendary Battleship Technique], the basic data of those "old sailing battleships" might not even be comparable to an ordinary battleship.
However, at this moment, a large number of cruisers from both sides were already patrolling the many sea routes. A sudden encounter would be a fierce battle that shook the sea.
After all, in a war where technological power had developed to this point, neither the dukedom nor the federation expected to win quickly.
The upper echelons already had a clear understanding that modern warfare was about economics, logistics, and technological reserves. Otherwise, there wouldn't be an arms race in the past twenty years.
At the current stage.
From east to west, in the Eritrean Sea, the Treasure Sea, the Black Sea, the Golden Sea, the Shattered Star Sea …
The main strategy of both sides was to cut off the other side's main artery at sea, suppress the opponent's war potential, and eliminate their effective forces.
Just like at this moment, the two fast cruisers belonging to the dukedom's "Golden Sea Fleet", "Leo" and "Vanguard".
They met the federation's four battleships, "Derflinger", "Seydlitz", "Black Ice", and "Dahlia", in the northern waters of St. Domingo Island, which was still an important cargo hub.
The commander's command of "eight rapid shots" was a way to give up accuracy and pursue rapid and fierce firepower suppression.
It was like the relationship between short bursts, long bursts, and continuous bursts in rifle shooting. It was to find a balance between accuracy and firepower.
It was also in the sudden battle, giving up the normal follow-up calibration and maximizing the firepower advantage of one's side.
[Federal Navy — Fast Cruiser — City Defense Class]
[Armament]: Two single-barreled 152mm 50x caliber main cannons (range: 12800 meters); ten single-barreled 102mm 50x caliber secondary cannons; four single-barreled 47mm rapid-fire cannons; two 450mm torpedo tubes.
[Duchy Navy – Fast Cruiser – Indefatigable]
[Armament]: Main Artillery: 4 Dual 152mm 50 Caliber Cannons; Secondary Artillery: 4 Single 102mm 45 Caliber Cannons; Air Defense: 3 Quad 12.7mm 62 Caliber Anti-Aircraft Cannons; Torpedoes: 2 Quad 533mm Torpedo Tubes.
Relying on the difference in equipment, the two dukedom cruisers that first discovered the enemy's tracks by relying on the [Mental Network] in the territory that they had operated for decades still had the upper hand even though it was two versus four.
At the same time, the two captains of the cruisers launched half of the torpedoes they carried at Derflinger, the flagship of the federation, without any hesitation.
A total of eight snow-white water lines flew toward the federal fleet, bringing with them destruction and death.
"Rear chimney hit. Traffic boat damaged."
Then, the commands in the radio waves became more and more urgent.
"Full speed into the vehicle!"
"Full speed stop!"
"Into the vehicle!"
"Speed on port side!"
"Speed on both sides!"
The orders were given one by one, and then they were quickly executed by the sweaty navy soldiers.
The cannoneers that were firing the turret to launch a counterattack felt that Derflinger under them was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It quickly tilted left and right and made a sharp turn, which greatly interfered with their shooting accuracy.
Finally.
Kaboom!
After the loud noise, thick smoke rose.
"Captain, the stern of the ship was hit by an eel!"
The federal navy liked to call torpedoes "eels," while the dukedom preferred to call them "trout." In this world where the gods were showing their divinity, this was probably a kind of superstition.
In short, to the navy, the word "torpedo" was not auspicious.
"Rudder angle indicator 12 degrees to the left, still 12 degrees to the left, it's not moving! Derflinger has lost navigation ability, quick! Call for air support! "
At this moment.
Elvin, who was sitting in the center as the commander-in-chief of the New World War, had already seen all the enemy's intelligence.
Because in a layer of vision that was completely invisible to others, endless radio waves were surging back and forth in the entire material world.
In the current period of the "electrical industry revolution," Elvin finally realized his original dream.
In the material world, whether it was radio, wireless communication, radar … The root of all was the application of Elvin's "electric pulse and signal transmission technology."
As early as 30 years ago, he could already use the power of the (Coat of Arms Knight) and the (Magic Eye of Insight) to directly read the electromagnetic wave information flying in the sky.
Now, he had directly transformed into an "Omniscient of Information." Observing the information carried by the electromagnetic wave was like reading the lines in his palm.
"Heh, he's using the same trick again. Order our air force formation on Saint-Domingue Island to take off! Let them see what the crystallization of black technology is. "
Therefore, in the sky above the Golden Sea, a total of five "flying motherships" descended from the clouds.
At least 30 "sparrowhawk" ornithopters swooped down from the sky like dumplings.
In the airport on Saint-Domingue Island that seemed to be used for landing airships.
There were two flight formations with a total of 12 fixed-wing "F1 Hippohawk" aircraft that quickly soared into the sky in a spiral manner to quickly seize the advantage of altitude.
Da da da …
The two aviation cannons on each aircraft opened fire directly, biting the enemy's ornithopters like red vipers.
In an instant, what should have been an air to sea advantage became an unexpected air battle.
"Sparrowhawk" ornithopter: 6.08 meters; wingspan: 7.82 meters; height: 2.20 meters;
Maximum speed: 212 kilometers per hour; endurance: 2 hours; empty weight: 500 kilograms; maximum takeoff weight: 704 kilograms.
It was a new aircraft designed and built by the "God of Trickery" Paimon based on the principles of bionics.
The advantage was that it could fly long distances with very little energy. At the same time, it could hover directly in the air and had strong mobility.
The "F1 Hippohawk" fixed-wing biplane that first appeared on the battlefield was 5.72 meters long and 8.53 meters wide.
Empty weight: 321 kilograms; maximum takeoff weight: 659 kilograms; maximum horizontal speed: 260 kilometers per hour; practical ceiling: 5774 meters; endurance: 4 hours.
It had a higher load capacity, faster speed, longer endurance, and a higher ceiling.
The main factors that played a major role in this were two black technologies that were especially worth mentioning.
The "Otto Gör Carburetor" could be considered a great landmark invention in the history of internal combustion engines. It was invented by an "electrical engineer" named Otto Gör.
This filtering "black box" abandoned the traditional fuel pump and carburetor, and used a reinforced fuel tank and heating coil.
The cold liquid fuel was pressurized to suck out the steam and then injected into the combustion chamber to achieve high-pressure vaporization fuel injection.
In the initial experiments, it could increase the efficiency of the vehicle fuel to 42 kilometers per liter, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was 2.5 liters. It doubled the endurance of the internal combustion engine and also gave the "F1 Hippohawk" a huge advantage on the battlefield.
The "Large Fiber Carbon Fiber" was a research and development project personally led by Olivia. It was a black technology material in the petrochemical industry.
Its diameter was 150 times that of hair, its density was 14 times that of steel, but its strength was seven times that of steel. It had high rigidity and high corrosion resistance.
It could be widely used in cars, airplanes, battleships, cruisers' hulls, shells, decks, and skeletons, as well as the skeletons of rigid airships.
Less than a minute into the battle.
Woo —!
A burning fireball roared and fell into the sea.
"Hahaha, guys, good job! The first Silver Star Emblem is ours! "
The commanders of this air force formation, Lieutenant Colonel Tololop and Major Willet laughed.
The first shot down since the start of the war was from their subordinates. It really made them proud in front of His Majesty.
They twisted the joystick to avoid the enemy's machine gun fire and quickly rushed to the next ornithopter.
However, at this time, no one on the battlefield noticed.
High in the sky.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sound of drums that only sounded in the spiritual realm echoed in the sky. A thin figure in green clothes danced with a spear in his hand.
His movements were flamboyant, full of power and rhythm, but it was a kind of classical war dance that came from an unknown civilization.
"Hahaha, the 'World's Consciousness' really cares for me. I thought that there was no hope of recovering the position of Demigod, but now I've welcomed such an unprecedented great war.
Blood, death, and fire, ah! It's so beautiful!
Maybe the war will only last for two years, no, just one year, and I'll be able to return to the throne of Demigod. "
On the surface, this figure was a young archer with a longbow on his shoulder, a quiver on his waist, and a spear in his hand.
In reality, it was the Demon God Larkin, ranked 14th among the 72 Demon Gods. He would start a great war, start fights, and leave corpses all over the place.
And in this world war, he was not the only one who wanted to see the world in chaos.
